I'm not gonna front; I miss it already and I have zero expectation that any of the replacements sprouting up like mushrooms after a forest fire will have any longevity.

It's dumb that it took Harvey Weinstein to get people acknowledging that Evilore's assaulted women when it's been common knowledge since 2012, but it is what it is.

What I've never understood is why you in particular dislike it so much. On paper, it seems to be everything you'd like:-explicitly liberal on both the gaming and off-topic sides-protective of LGBT-tons of PC gamers-dedicated subcommunities for whatever franchise/interest you might want-huge fans of niche games, especially with female protagonists

Well, I guess it might have been a while ago? The moderation took a decidedly progressive bent during Gamergate and it was positively militant during the election cycle (one of their admins was apparently removed for banning hundreds of Trump supporters without cause during that period), and a lot of it spilled over to the gaming side too.

I suppose this conversation is kind of moot unless Evilore actually follows through with his promise to put the site up again soon, but your experience seems unusual given how often GAF is slagged on by the rest of the internet for being the biggest "SJW" bastion.
